ABSTRACT:
Transcriptional activator Islet-Brain 1 (IB1) is disclosed which is involved in the control of the GLUT2 and insulin genes by interacting with homologous cis-regulatory elements of the GLUT2 and insulin promoters, and to materials and methods deriving from this work. In particular, the use of IB1 nucleic acid, IB1 polypeptides and anti-IB1 antibodies in the diagnosis, and prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of conditions such as diabetes and neurological diseases such as dementia and/or parkinsonism is disclosed.
